(CNN) – A flaring furnace blasts another wave of searing heat on the faces of workers hauling bricks under a southern Indian sun.

They work up to 22 hours a day propping heavy stacks of bricks on
their heads. None expects to be paid for this labor. None knows how long
they'll be kept here. Some are as young as three years old.
Manoj Singh was one of 149 people rescued this year from a brick kiln
outside Hyderabad, India. Like millions of other Indians, the toddler
was born into extreme poverty.
